Chase Nominees Limited announces that J.P. Morgan Trustee & Administration Services Limited has a notifiable interest in 3,541,625 Ordinary shares. These shares are held on behalf of participants in the JPMorgan investment trust savings products. J.P. Morgan Trustee & Administration Services Limited has a notifiable interest in these shares because, in certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations agreed with the Takeover Panel to ensure compliance with the Takeover Code, JPMorgan is entitled to exercise the voting rights attached to the Ordinary shares if the relevant plan participants do not do so.
JPMorgan is now entitled to exercise the voting rights attached to these Ordinary shares, as these shares have not been voted by the participants in the JPMorgan investment trust savings products in respect of the Company's 2013 Annual General Meeting to be held on Tuesday 16th July 2013. This entitlement will cease following the conclusion of the Company's 2013 Annual General Meeting. |
